Common questions in GU25
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
